My Heating Pad Microwavable Neck and Shoulder Wrap - Upper Torso Plus - Portable, Large Heating Pad - Neck Wrap - 1 Pack Blue

This is good to have for anyone who needs instant relief of shoulder tension and pain. I use it regularly - often a few times a week and am thankful for the warmth that helps loosen whatever is going on in my neck, shoulder, or lower back. It's easy to 'cook' in my microwave, then apply and secure, and because it's weighted it works if I'm standing or sitting upright with it on. Even with regular usage it still holds the heat well and is effective. Moist heat is better at offering up pain relief, and it's nice to not have to worry about damaging wires or the fire hazard of an electric pad if I fall asleep with it on too. This heat wrap is made well; designed perfectly to specifically fit shoulders, but can also be used elsewhere easily; and it's priced right too. Highly recommended!

My massage therapist urged me to buy something like this for use at home to help relax neck and shoulders after long work days. One side is a flat brushed fabric and the other has a velvety texture which is nice on my face. It can be either frozen or heated and comes with an instruction card (the instructions are also printed on a fabric tag attached to the product). It is nice and heavy - drapes well. It is filled with rice, so you cannot wash it. If you want to do more than spot clean, suggest you find a cover that you can use with it. Once heated for about 2 minutes in the microwave, it stays warm for quite a while. I have not tried it frozen. My only complaint might be that the neck hole feels a little small... not right away but after wearing for awhile it starts to feel a little tight in an anxiety-producing way. Other folks probably won't have that problem.Edit: Someone from the company emailed me right after I submitted this review and offered to send me a new one with a larger neck hole at no charge. I am happy to report the adjustment makes the wrap much more comfortable to wear and I'm very pleased with the customer service.

I have arthritis of the spine and shoulders. I've tried many products. This was works really well and hold and seems to hold the heat better and longer than others. The weight bothered me at first, but I don't seem to notice it so much how. For the shoulders and upper back I recommend this product. Getting up to reheat it several times, could present a problem.

Easy to heat in the microwave and keeps the heat for a long time. I really liked it!

This is my 3rd or 4th My Hearing Pad. I have obviously been a great fan. However there has apparently been a change in the content of the pad itself. I have to heat this pad hotter than the previous ones to bring it up to the same warmth and I need to reheat it more frequently and longer to maintain a comfortable temperature.

This heating pad work extremely well by covering a large area. It also does not have any odor. Absorbs heat well. I had a herbed one that made the microwave smell for a long time. This pad is perfect. No odor. Retains heat.

This heating pad is wonderful. Good directions Easy and comfortable to use even while doing simple tasks around the house. provides relief from sore muscles. THANKS!

I wrote a review before and have now changed it. The fit is fabulous. The weight is terrific. It stays in place.The problem?It didn't stay hot longer than about 8-10 minutes. I didn't want to have to go reheat that often. If only it stayed hot longer, it would be great.
